ANC chairperson Gwede Mantashe at the Results Operation Centre in Tshwane, where counting of votes for the 2019 National and Provincial Elections is still underway.African National Congress had dipped below 50% in Gauteng by 10am on Friday with almost 60% of the provincial voting districts counted.
If the picture remains the same, the ANC will not have outright majority meaning they would rely on coalitions in order to run the province.As the results stand, they show that the ANC decreased by about 4% in the province from 53,59% in the 2014 to 49,55% in these year’s elections. Both EFF and FF Plus averaged a growth of about 3% while the DA declined by the same percentage dropping from 30,78% in 2014 to 28,46% in this year's elections.
ANC’s decline was further indication that President Cyril Ramaphosa’s popularity could have saved the party nationally with voters snubbing the ruling party provincially. On Friday, the Sowetan reported that there was a trend which showed voters split their national and provincial votes in support of Ramaphosa.
